Key claims

• Fisherfolk at a consultation told President Ali that manipulated images and **AI-generated video** connected to the disaster had driven down fish sales.
• President Ali directed Attorney General Nandlall to review whether penalties for deliberately deceptive AI content are adequate, and announced a public education campaign on spotting altered images and video.
• **The outlet flags its own limits, and this archive repeats the flag:** "The extent of the reported decline and its direct connection to the online posts have not been independently established."
• Recorded because it is the only item in this corpus about synthetic media around the disaster, and because it is a proposal to legislate arising from an unquantified claim. **A state proposal to penalise deceptive content, prompted by a harm nobody has measured, is worth keeping on the record on both counts.**
